Summary
When high speed internet became widely available a few years ago， growing numbers of people began to worry that their porn use was running out of control。 Far from preparing them for fulfilling relationships， viewing an endless stream of porn videos led to unexpected symptoms。 Perhaps most surprisingly， for the first time in history erectile dysfunction was becoming a significant problem for young men。 This led to one of the largest informal experiments in the history of science。 Tens of thousands of people have tried abstaining from sexually stimulating material in a process they call 'rebooting'。 Many of them reported startling changes， from improved concentration and elevated mood to a greater capacity for real-life intimacy。 Gary Wilson has listened to the stories of those who have tried giving up internet porn and related them to an account of how the reward system of the brain interacts with its environment。 And now a growing body of research in neuroscience is confirming what these pioneers have discovered for themselves - internet pornography can be seriously addictive and damaging。 In Your Brain on Porn Wilson provides a concise introduction to the phenomenon of internet porn addiction that draws on both first-person accounts and the findings of cognitive neuroscience。 In a voice that is generous and humane， he also offers advice for those who want to stop using internet pornography。 The publication of Your Brain on Porn is a landmark in our attempts to understand， and remain balanced in， a world where addiction is big business。

This is a succinct， important book on the science of addiction， and specifically， on the detrimental effect that pornography has on the brain。 “Desensitized” is a word that is repeatedly used throughout the book: consuming pornography leaves users wanting more of something that they like less。 It sounds quite paradoxical， doesn’t it？It took several decades before an overall consensus was reached that tobacco is harmful to the body。 In like manner， internet pornography is still relatively young a This is a succinct， important book on the science of addiction， and specifically， on the detrimental effect that pornography has on the brain。 “Desensitized” is a word that is repeatedly used throughout the book: consuming pornography leaves users wanting more of something that they like less。 It sounds quite paradoxical， doesn’t it？It took several decades before an overall consensus was reached that tobacco is harmful to the body。 In like manner， internet pornography is still relatively young and many people are hesitant to acknowledge its devastating impact on individuals。 However， plenty of anecdotal evidence exists （especially on Reddit forums） which show that depression， anxiety， brain fog， lack of focus， and of course， erectile disfunction are symptoms of pornograpy consumption。Moral of the story？Don’t watch porn。 You’ll live a much happier life without it。 。。。more

Its a must for everyone tbh！ I listened to the audiobook and hearing people struggling with porn and then overcoming it was unreal。 Its a true inspiration and really an amazing read。 It's filled with surveys and studies on how porn ruins your sense of reality。 And how quiting it can change your life forever！ Its a must for everyone tbh！ I listened to the audiobook and hearing people struggling with porn and then overcoming it was unreal。 Its a true inspiration and really an amazing read。 It's filled with surveys and studies on how porn ruins your sense of reality。 And how quiting it can change your life forever！ 。。。more

Disappointed。 I was hoping for a more scientific approach to the subject but it was almost entirely anecdotal quotes from reddit users then actual science。 Interesting topic， I definitely feel that it carriers some weight behind it but not elaborated in a manner that deserves anything more than an introductory two star review。

°The Book in 3 Sentences 1。 Discover how and what the world of pornography generates in those who use it;2。 How to overcome a disorder associated with pornography and small tips even for those who simply want to get away from it;3。 A great intention in wanting to change the fate of those who unfortunately came out hurting， through not only knowledge， as the author said: "This is a theme of this book: we need to listen to today's users and their peers because the phenomenon is moving so fast"。°Wh °The Book in 3 Sentences 1。 Discover how and what the world of pornography generates in those who use it;2。 How to overcome a disorder associated with pornography and small tips even for those who simply want to get away from it;3。 A great intention in wanting to change the fate of those who unfortunately came out hurting， through not only knowledge， as the author said: "This is a theme of this book: we need to listen to today's users and their peers because the phenomenon is moving so fast"。°Who should read it？The book treats the topics in two distinct but intertwined ways。 Describing the effects that pornography has caused to many users， it juxtaposes studies and scientific researches to make true the theses analyzed and give also a medical-scientific explanation。After these considerations I believe that the book can be read by:- anyone who is interested in the topic and also wants to have some scientific explanation about it。。。; - anyone who has had contact with the pornographic world or still use it;- anyone of any age， especially adolescents， who do not know the risks associated with this world， to educate and make them aware;- anyone interested in a medical-scientific view of this topic。 However， as mentioned before， the book does not delve into all the medical aspects， so if you are looking for a book oriented to a more scientific view， I recommend something else。°My top 3 Quotes1。 When you remove a source of pleasure from the brain， it is like taking away the leg of a table。 The whole thing becomes rocky and unstable。 The brain has two option: one， to make you hurt like hell in every way it can think of to "encourage" you to put the table leg back again， or two， to accept that the table leg is really gone， and figure out how to re-balance without it。 Of course， it tries Option One first。 Then， after a while， it gets to work on Option Two， all while still pushing Option One。 Eventually， it seems like the brain re-balances， giving up on Option One， and fully succeeding at Option Two。2。 The fact is， the brain's reward centre doesn't know what porn is。 It only registers levels of stimulation through dopamine spikes。3。 I will never get enough of what doesn't satisfy me and it never， ever satisfies me。 °SummaryThe book is divided into an introduction， 3 chapters and a final chapter containing reflections by the author himself。 The first chapter is a preamble and an appetizer of the second chapter。 In the first one are presented experiences， symptoms and confessions of users of the site "your brain on porn" （belonging to the author） and others of his wife。 This first chapter gives us a first taste of what could be the consequences of the use of online pornography。The second chapter is the more "scientific" one， where the author exposes some theses supported by research and confessions of users。 He explains what happens in our brain and what are the consequences。 In the third chapter there are a series of tips recommended by users and by the author to be able to detach and eliminate porn from your life。 The last chapter are some considerations stipulated by the author， with several food for thought。 One in particular I found very surprising， the author compares the use of cigarettes in the 20th century with the use of porn in our days。In both cases， the consequences of their use were unknown and now as never before， we should benefit from what we failed to do before。 I hope this review may have helped you and remember:You're not alone。 。。。more

The main focus of the book is on how watching porn ruins a male's potential to live a healthy sexual life。 One would rarely find anything about females in this book！ The reader might get the wrong feeling that a female's brain may not be susceptible to porn addiction！ Gradually sentences like "（。。。 may affect women）" appear here and there in parentheses with no further explanation！ The book is filled with unnecessary quotes from other books and anecdotes of users from Reddit and other forums tem The main focus of the book is on how watching porn ruins a male's potential to live a healthy sexual life。 One would rarely find anything about females in this book！ The reader might get the wrong feeling that a female's brain may not be susceptible to porn addiction！ Gradually sentences like "（。。。 may affect women）" appear here and there in parentheses with no further explanation！ The book is filled with unnecessary quotes from other books and anecdotes of users from Reddit and other forums tempting one to quit reading the book。 Why on earth would one care about the details of a pervert mind rather than looking at the graphs and statistics based on surveys which seem more scientific！ In the pre-porn world， grandpas used magazines or contemplating about the lady next door for stimulation， but in the post-porn world， teens open a bunch of tabs full of variety and novelty leading the poor brain to a state of hyperstimulation （the skyrocketing of the ‘go get it！’ neurochemical dopamine） that the brain has not been designed to respond to。 The poor brain needs to lower its sensitivity to these materials， yet at the same time， it enjoys this novelty and Finally， the addiction ends in numerous dysfunctions， such as delayed ejaculation or inability to orgasm during sex， erectile dysfunction， and loss of attraction to real partners。Porn is like cheap， plentiful junk food that is universally recognized as a supernormal stimulus。 The difference is that the stomach gets full， yet the brain wants more。 More novelty， more stimuli， and this insatiable craving for more obliges one to even watch what he considered as taboo。 shock， surprise， and anxiety can jack up dopamine。 What one couldn't stomach becomes the new stimuli。 BTW who is this Gary Wilson？ Couldn't find details on his education and field of expertise。 。。。more

Ζούμε στιγμές που αυτή η συζήτηση καλείται να γίνει δημόσια και θέλουμε και προσπαθούμε να γνωστοποιήσουμε τι διακυβεύεται μέσα από την πραγματικότητα της χρήσης της πορνογραφίας。 Μιλάμε για ένα από τα πιο ισχυρά ναρκωτικά， για έναν πραγματικά πανίσχυρο εθισμό。 Η υγιής， όμως， σεξουαλική οικειότητα μετά από σεξουαλική καταναγκαστική （και κακοποιητική ως υποβιβασμό σε αντικείμενο） συμπεριφορά είναι δυνατή， ωστόσο απαιτεί θάρρος， επιμονή και σκληρή δουλειά。

I was prepared to read "another book on addiction"， but Gary Wilson just threw a huge hit with this one。 The book is full of interesting personal stories from across the globe and filled with jaw-dropping truth bombs about the fragile nature of our neurochemistry。 The author took the time to convey several approaches humanely， so I think this is a must-read for anyone having any relationship with porn。 I was prepared to read "another book on addiction"， but Gary Wilson just threw a huge hit with this one。 The book is full of interesting personal stories from across the globe and filled with jaw-dropping truth bombs about the fragile nature of our neurochemistry。 The author took the time to convey several approaches humanely， so I think this is a must-read for anyone having any relationship with porn。 。。。more

كتاب مفيد ويضيء مشكلة المجتمع بأجمعه قرر أن يتجاهل وجودها。 بعد أن تعرف أضرارها لن ترضى بهذا السكوت عنها。الكتاب يسلط الضوء على نوعين من المشاكل الناتجة عن الإباحية، الأول هو الجانب الجنسي والمشاكل الجنسية الصحية والزوجية التي تنتج عن مشاهدة الإباحية، والآخر هو الجانب النفسي。اهتممت بالجانب النفسي أكثر رغم أن كلا الجانبين مهمين。
